It will happen the way he is batting – Sunil Gavaskar backs Ishan Kishan to score 300 in ODIs

Indian great Sunil Gavaskar has backed Ishan Kishan to score a triple hundred in One Day International cricket. Kishan hogged the limelight when he scored a fine knock of 210 runs in the third ODI against Bangladesh when he replaced Rohit Sharma in the playing XI.

Kishan was at his absolute best against the Tigers as he took the home team’s bowlers to the cleaners – smashing 24 fours and 10 sixes in his blistering knock.

Kishan was able to grab his chance with both hands as he scored his maiden ODI century and also converted it into a big score.

Kishan made new records as he became the youngest to score a double ODI century. Furthermore, the southpaw also scored the fastest double century in the 50-overs format off just 124 balls.

“When we see the younger players coming through, it means there is hope for the future. Ishan Kishan probably stands out with his double hundred, which was in a 50-overs game and that’s a fantastic achievement. He got it so easily. And he got in what 35 or 36th over. If he had carried on he would have gotten the first-ever triple hundred in ODIs. It will happen with the way he is batting. That is a huge plus as India is concerned. He has this terrific ability to play all around the ground. His square-cut…he is also like Rishabh Pant who like to pepper the on the side. But a 200 is an amazing achievement and at such a young age. So I think sky’s the limit as far as the white-ball cricket is concerned,” Sunil Gavaskar said on Sony Sports.

The southpaw was able to grab his opportunity and he would want to continue the good show in the upcoming matches. Kishan is known to score his runs at a brisk pace and he did a fine job against the Tigers.

India will next take on Sri Lanka in the white-ball series.
